Gallery: Models Small And Large At “Fantastic Plastic” Show

BEACON FALLS, CT – It had a title that was a tongue-twister – Hammer City Kustom’s Ice Break’n, Model Makin, Fantastic Plastic Model Show. It showed off and sold plastic model cars as well as displayed a few full-size customs at Hammer City Kustom’s shop on Sunday. Turnout was good as classic car lovers and owners sought to get a jump on this year’s car show season.

RIDE-CT was surprised to see a few rare car models replicated in plastic, along with some vintage model kits being sold. The show was certainly worth the drive.

Here’s a gallery of photos from the show:
